Frank Siebert, 85, died January 23, 1998, in Bangor, ME. He graduated from the School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania in 1938. In addition to his medical career as a pathologist, Frank had a truly extraordinary second career in the linguistics of American Indian languages. This interest was pursued part-time during his professional work, and full-time after his retirement as a pathologist. He settled in Old Town, ME, because it is the center of the Penobscot Nation, which provided Frank access to the dwindling number of speakers of the Penobscot language. He was the last fluent speaker of the Penobscot language but he made sure the language that he loved did not die with him. He compiled a Penobscot dictionary, which has not yet been published. An issue of the Maine Historical Society journal was devoted to Siebert and his work, and Harvard University had a conference in Siebert's honor in October. "A great scholar has passed away today," said Harald Prins, an anthropology professor at Kansas State University. Prins, who taught at Bowdoin and Colby colleges and knew Siebert, said Siebert's work certainly will inspire future linguists. He said Siebert was meticulous, and published only a tiny amount of his work, "because he thought it was never good enough...The American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia will not only have his repository, but I also imagine at least two or three people will get their dissertations on the basis of Frank's work." Ives Goddard, a curator in the anthropology department at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History, once called Siebert "clearly the most brilliant and the most competent avocational linguist working on Native American languages that there has ever been, hands down." For decades, he paid for his own research, and finally received a $4,000 Guggenheim grant in 1969. The National Science Foundation awarded him with nearly $300,000 between 1979 and 1988. Siebert was, by all reports, a curmudgeon. He lived alone in Old Town and had little time for social niceties. "He was the quintessential scholar," Prins said. His work was his life and his philosophy was unique. "I'd like to be free," he told a reporter in 1996. "Free from shopping. Free from eating. Free from cooking. Free from nuisances and people calling you on the phone."

Hubert Taylor, age 82, of Southhampton, PA, died July 13, 1998, in Abington Memorial Hospital after a two-and-a-half year battle with cancer. Born in Philadelphia, son of the late Francis Richard Taylor and Elizabeth Richie Taylor, he was the fourth generation of Taylors to practice law in Center City Philadelphia, specializing in settling estates, banking and real estate. Philadelphia newspapers describe him as a "big-band-loving, ballroom-dancing fourth-generation Quaker lawyer." Born to a prominent Quaker family, Mr. Taylor attended Germantown Friends School and graduated from Westtown School in 1934. At Haverford, he was a soccer player and mainstay of the baseball team. Taylor's years at Haverford paralleled marked improvement in both teams. Captaining the 1937 soccer team, Taylor won all-American recognition and led the team to a 7-4 mark and a 26-5 goal advantage over such defeated powers as Navy, Penn, Cornell and Lehigh. The speedy Taylor also sparked the 1938 baseball team to a 6-4-1 record, one of the best of that HC diamond era, hitting .306 with two home runs and making only one error while blanketing the outfield running down fly balls. Taylor remained a big fan of Haverford athletic teams and often attended events, never reluctant to say what he thought but ultimately always supportive of the College for which he had played so well. After Haverford, he received his law degree from Temple University. During World War II, Mr. Taylor was a conscientious objector and served three-and-a-half years in Civilian Public Service as a road builder in New Hampshire, as an attendant in the men's violent ward of the Williamsburg, VA, State Mental Hospital, and as a smoke jumper in Montana. Mr. Taylor was a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and served on the board of directors of the Cheltenham National Bank, which his father started in 1924. He served on the board of directors of the Cheltenham Federal Savings and Loan, the Hillside Cemetery, and the William Penn Charter School. He was a financial supporter of many organizations including Tamanend Park, Southampton, the Walnut Street Theater, the Philadelphia Zoo and Emily's List. Mr. Taylor was an active alumnus serving as class correspondent, a fund raiser and admissions recruiter. He recently donated a grandfather clock that had been handed down through five generations of Taylors to the College Quaker Collection. In 1954 he and his late wife Dorothy moved to Bryn Gweled Homesteads, an intentional community in Southampton formed to allow people of different races and religions to live together cooperatively. Mr. Taylor was a lifelong member of Cheltenham Friends Meeting, which his parents founded, and recently joined the Southampton Meeting. He leaves two daughters, Elizabeth Savery Taylor and Daphne Plaisted Taylor; two sisters, Anne Taylor Bronner and Margery Taylor Thompson; and three grandchildren, Peter, Samuel, and Maxwell Taylor. He was the father of the late Geoffrey Rowell Taylor and brother of the late Esther Taylor Marshall.

André Weil, professor of mathematics at Haverford in the 1940s, died on August 6, 1998, in Princeton, NJ. He was one of the great mathematicians of the age, known for his pungent phrasing and whimsical individuality. Dr. Weil, a Paris-born intellectual who was a professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, was credited with laying the foundations for important areas of modern mathematics and with exercising vast influence on the development of both mathematics and other areas of science. Imbued with a desire for intellectual rigor, Dr. Weil founded a group of French mathematicians who recodified the foundations of their discipline. Early in his career he taught in India, and he knew the celebrated apostle of nonviolence Mohandas K. Gandhi. Later, he taught in Brazil and at the University of Chicago, and he once provided a chapter to a book by the famed anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss, on the algebra of marriage and kinship. Dr. Weil jotted down one of his best known proofs while he was being held in a French military prison at the outset of World War II. As a mathematician, Dr. Weil was hailed for bringing together number theory and algebraic geometry. He was credited with laying the groundwork for such areas as the theory of modular forms, automorphic functions and automorphic representations. Some of his work has found application in elementary particle physics and in the development of modern mathematical cryptography. Dr. Weil's wife died in 1986. Survivors include daughters Nicolette Schwartzman and Sylvie Weitzner, and three grandchildren.
